  • Alive to Boredom
    Alive to Boredom MARIEL VICTORIA MOK If you ever find yourself looking for something boring to watch, just pick one of Béla Tarr’s films. They are among the most boring films you might ever hope to find: intensely, immersively, and fascinatingly—transcen- dentally, even—boring. Tarr’s The Turin Horse (2011) is almost static, moving at what David Campany, in Photography and Cinema, terms a “glacial tempo” (37). Tarr’s cam- era crawls almost painfully slowly, and the living, breathing humans in the film often move less than the objects around them. The film follows Ohlsdorfer—an elderly man—and his daughter over the course of six days, as they mechanically carry out a routine we can infer was established long ago. Tarr follows their every move, even when what they are doing seems trivial, and even—especially—when they aren’t doing anything at all. In one scene, Ohlsdorfer’s daughter walks to the stove after he lies down to rest; she holds a pot, collects two potatoes, places them inside the pot, and, after pouring water into the pot, begins boiling the potatoes. She sits facing the window, completely still as she looks out and waits. Only the stillness of the scene itself surpasses the stillness of her form: the only movement comes from the leaves that flutter outside, visible through the windowpanes. Tarr’s camera edges steadily until it stops directly behind her, and with a rigid, symmetrical, and static shot, plasters her in a lifeless position of solitude. We look at her back as she looks out the window; the light from the stove occasionally flickers, but beyond that, there is no movement from her or the camera for one and a half minutes.

  • Introduction
    Introduction Spatial studies that emerged as a nascent discourse in the post Second World War period has suddenly assumed prominence with the spatial turn in poststructuralist theories. Globalisation, with its liberal immigration policies, has transformed the spatial experiences of individuals and reconfigured the world, redefining spatial relations and reordering existing spatial structures. The virtual space provided by the Internet has added a new spatial experience, which is at once heterotopic and panoptic. The spatial turn in academic discourses leads to the emergence of the politics of spatiality in the practice of everyday life enacted in the social space. In this regard, Robert T. Tally Jr. explains: “The spatial turn is . a turn towards an understanding of our lives as situated in a mobile array of social and spatial relations that, in one way or another, need to be mapped” (17). The fundamental pattern of discursive enquiry has changed: every cultural critique is now punctuated with questions of space, spatiality and spatial relations. Spatial practices have become prominent along with cultural and social practices. The ontological enquiry of space has evolved from space as a container of objects to space as a structured and mediated reflection of social/power relations. Space has been a complex and problematic term in cultural critique. The noted geographer Bertrand Westphal observes that the cosmopolitan diaspora caused by “grand migrations occasioned by economic or political exigencies 2 specific to the industrial, and especially the post-industrial era” has called for a rereading of space (25). A study of the spatial representations in literature opens up a changing world where new spatial experiences and perplexities get constructed.

My guiding intuition in this thesis is that the distinct historical evolutions of film and philosophy intersect in the speculative domain of the Western metaphysical paradigm, as the film medium technologically and aesthetically reestablishes conditions for “truth” within

It looks at how the idea of Eastern Europe and its cinema has been shaped vis-à-vis the West, and redefined after the collapse of communism. Contrary to the received wisdom that a new paradigm emerged in 1989, this chapter argues that it is only since 2000 that Eastern European cinema has enjoyed recognition after the near collapse of its film industries in the 1990s. In the three case studies of the Hungarian filmmaker Béla Tarr, Eastern European female directors and the Romanian New Wave, the chapter analyses the emergence in Eastern Europe of a new complex model of film production aligned with its larger European counterpart.

  • Budapest 2001
    Budapest 2001 By Ron Holloway Fall 2001 Issue of KINEMA HUNGARIAN FILM WEEK BUDAPEST Awarded both the Main Prize of the Hungarian Jury and the Gene Moskowitz Critics Prize at the 32nd Hun- garian Film Week (1-6 February 2001), Béla Tarr’s Werckmeister Harmoniak (The Werckmeister Harmonies) crowned the Budapest festival with one of the finest European films produced in 2000. The two-and-a-half- hour screen adaptation of Laszlo Krasznahorkai’s novel The Melancholy of Resistance (published in 1989) was four years in the making (1996-2000) and could be brought to completion only with coproduction assis- tance of visionary Berlin producer Joachim von Vietinghoff. And who else but Béla Tarr, Hungary’s leading avant-garde filmmaker, would spend three years (1991-94) bringing another Krasznahorkai novel, Satantango (published in 1985), to the screen in an hypnotic seven-and-a-half-hour tour-de-force? Queried at Cannes 2000, where The Werckmeister Harmonies premiered at the Directors Fortnight, why his fascination for Laszlo Krasznahorkai’s literary oeuvre, Béla Tarr simply answered: ”We complement each other.” Together over the last twelve years, they have collaborated on no less than four screen adaptations: Damnation (1987), The Last Boat (1989), a short feature for the City Life series sponsored by the Rotterdam festival, the acclaimed masterpiece Satantango (1994), and now The Werckmeister Harmonies.
